Shipwreck hunters find luxury steamer 150 years after its sinking

In October 2022, a team, led by shipwreck hunter Paul Ehorn, successfully located the wreck of the Lac La Belle.
The steamer sank in a gale in October 1872 while carrying 53 passengers and cargo.
This discovery concludes a nearly 60-year quest, highlighting the ongoing urgency to find and preserve shipwrecks threatened by invasive species.
